Emergency Preparedness Kit

Usual services that we take for granted are often disrupted following a disaster. Running water, refrigeration, etc., are often unavailable. Emergency Preparedness experts recommend that you should be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days. Store your household disaster kit in a water-proof container where it is easily accessible.

Your basic kit should include:

Water – One gallon per day per person

Food – Non-perishable, ready to eat or requiring minimal water

Manual can opener and other cooking supplies

Plates, cups, utensils, and other feeding supplies

First Aid Kit and instructions

Copies of important documents and phone numbers

Warm clothing and rain gear for each family member

Heavy work gloves

Disposable camera

Unscented liquid household bleach and an eyedropper for water purification
